Extended Look
Twenty-six minutes of gameplay. The first look at how GTA VI plays rather than how it cuts — and the single largest release of information about the game so far.
- Gunplay, driving, robberies and police response running as gameplay rather than edited for a trailer
- The wanted level back to six stars, with icons below them showing exactly what the police know about you
- A criminal profile that tracks how you behave, in the lineage of Red Dead Redemption 2's honour system
- A focus ability that slows time and marks kill points in red and disarm points in yellow
- Car theft split into tiers — a slim jim minigame for older cars, a cloned key for the expensive ones
- Fifteen more songs, roughly tripling the confirmed soundtrack in one evening
Premiered through Netflix and published to Rockstar's own YouTube channel the same evening, alongside hands-on previews written by outlets Rockstar flew to Rockstar North. Almost everything the site now lists as a confirmed system was first seen here.
